Women’s Self Defense Tip
You must react quickly: One of the greatest challenges to defending yourself
is that in the real world (unlike in the movies) acts of violence usually happen very quickly. When an attack occurs suddenly (even though there are usually warning signs), you are at an exteme disadvantage, if you are not prepared to react. This is especially true if you rely solely on some form of weapon for your defense. Pepper spray, stun guns and firearms are useless if you can't get to them instantly when you need them. So try to anticipate dangerous situations in advance (such as walking to your car at night) and prepare
yourself to take quick action.
Cardio Kickboxing
This class is held on Monday and Wednesday, from 8:15 – 9:00pm for anyone 16 years or older. This is a great class to work off those daily stressors and burn some calories. We have beginners as well as students that have been taking the class for several months. You don’t have to be a karate student to join Cardio Kickboxing. If your karate student is in the Black Belt enrollment program, Mom and Dad can take Cardio Kickboxing at no charge. Come join the fun!
